So since the last time I blogged we have traveled quite a bit!! Here is a quick up date...
First, we went to HAWAII....
and it was amazing! We had such great time "honeymooning" together :). Some girls dream about their wedding all of their life... I was the girl who was dreaming of a honeymoon to a tropical paradise! haha, that might be sad. But it is true! We never had the nice relaxing get away that I had always dreamed of, so this trip was just fabulous. We were both in need of a get away. We find ourselves running in a million different directions and not as much time together as we would like. It was nice to be together for 6 days without meetings, class, work, etc. Hawaii was everything we thought it would be and so much more. We stayed on Maui and the scenery was unlike anything I have ever seen. The food was out of this world. And the time we spent connecting and relaxing was beyond words.
Here are some pictures from the trip and a little info!
We went hiking one day and this was one of the beautiful spots we found!! SOO many tide pools to explore on our hike! We loved it.
Wayyy up there is the top of a volcano!!!
First night out to dinner at a place called Mama's Fish House. Seriously the nicest place we have ever been. The view was incredible, the food was soooo yummy and the company was sweet ;)
We saw WHALES!!! We went on a snorkeling/whale watching cruise. I told Luke before we got on the boat "this is one of those activities where you meet people and chat through out the entire trip". He didn't seem to understand this process.... We had new friends within the first hour :)
This was taken at our resort on our last night.
There is so much more to say about this trip and so many more photos to share. But that is the cliff notes version.
Not long after we got back from Hawaii we flew to GA for Sarah Beth and Cameron's wedding. We both got a lot of family time and I got to see my sister perform in her senior musical! She was amazing. I also go to be with my mom on Mother's day!
The wedding was perfect and all of the festivities were an amazing time of catching up with people we had not seen in a year! Here are a few pictures from the day.
Typical.
So happy for this girl.
One of my favorites from the day.
Just a week and half later I was able to fly home again to see my little sister graduate from high school! Such an exciting time for her and I am so proud of the the person she is. I often wish that some of her "chillness" would rub off on me. She is headed to college in the fall and I can't wait to see all of the good she creates in this world.
So, there is a little update on the last month. WOW. Soooo much goodness.
Love from CA,
Jess
